BelieversVideo

ALCOHOLISM ADDICTION 25 Comments »

We’re putting together a video for my new single “Believers”! I want people to be encouraged by what you are believing no matter the circumstance. I want to accumulate videos from all of you and from all over the world about people telling me why they are a Believer. Watch my video blog for instructions on how you can be a part of this video and encouraging people around you! What We need From You: 2-4 second video clip submitted to this YouTube page. Examples: I’m a believer even though I was just diagnosed with cancer. I’m still a believer after 58 years of marriage. I’m a believer for my son’s safe return from Iraq. I’m a believer even though the odds are not in my favor. I’m a believer for my son’s healing from alcoholism. We are believers for our family business to make it through the tough times. We want to thank Kari Jobe ( www.myspace.com/karijobemusic ), Stephen Brewster ( stephenbrewster.me ), and Grant Jenkins for the great idea and concept for this video. We want to thank you for allowing us to share in your idea to motivate people and to encourage one another.
